Cami Nelson had a solid night for the Tim-berwolves, Tim-berwolves, scoring 20 points to go with 11 rebounds, five steals and four rebounds. American Fork couldn't find an answer to Nelson, who kept the ball high and shot over defenders in the post. Timpanogos jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first quarter after Amy Weitzeil scored off a look from Nelsoa Weitzeil had eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks in complementing com-plementing Nelson down low. Timpanogos coach Liz Darg-er Darg-er was pleased with the effort. "I think Cali and Amy are probably the best post tandem in the state; if not the best, then one of the best," Darger said. "Tonight I think they worked really well together. Amy and Cali were looking for each other and our guards were looking for them." The third quarter was much the same story, as Timpanogos extended its lead to as many as 16, going up 33-17 after a layup by Megan Bishop. Bishop found herself open numerous times in the quarter and took advantage, advan-tage, scoring the first seven points of the quarter. She finished fin-ished with 15 overall. But the T'Wolves' lead was quickly diminished. With Nelson Nel-son on the bench with four fouls, American Fork came alive, coming up with steals that helped Kaycee Mansfield and Haley Holmstead hit open shots on the offensive end. The Cavemen went on a 16-5 run to cut the lead to five, 38-33, with 5:40 remaining after Mansfield grabbed a rebound and took it coast-to-coast for a layup. The Cavemen eventually got as close as 4945 with 56 seconds left. But time was scarce and Timpanogos hit its free throws down the stretch to ward off the comeback.

The Tigers took advantage of the distraction for Provo by scoring 15 of the next 17 points to go up eight and rode that run to a 58-47 victory. "Most of the game we played terrific defense," said Orem head coach Mike Connor. "We executed our game plan. We live and die on our jump shots and tonight we shot the ball well." The Bulldogs led 7-2 with Collinsworth Col-linsworth having put in five of them when he was injured, and Connor readily admitted that the game might've been different differ-ent if the Bulldog leading scorer had remained in the contest. "1 don't think it changed what either team wanted to do, but you don't take out a 6-foot-9 Division Divi-sion I player without it changing the game," Connor said. "I think it was a letdown for them" Tiger senior guard Timo Valimaki made Provo pay for many of its lapses on his way to a game-high 18 points.

Friday, Jan. 19 BOYS BASKETBALL I Lone Peak 81, Timpanogos 62: At Highland, Lone Peak held Timpanogos scoreless through the first four minutes of the second quarter and the Knights forced five turnovers during that time to smother Timpanogos and roll to an impressive im-pressive win "Our guys weren't too happy with how things ended up at Spanish (Fork). I kind of felt like we would have a pretty good game," said Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis. "We were able to clamp down during a critical stretch of the game. We just need to do it over a longer period pe-riod now." It may not have mattered how well Timpanogos played, because Lone Peak looked like a team with something to prove after suffering its first loss of the region season to Spanish Fork. Lone Peak jumped out to a 21-12 lead early. Timpanogos' Ryan Clarke hit a 3-pointer to cut the led to lead to 21-15 with 1:15 left in the first quarter, but the Knights then commenced operation blitzkrieg. Kevin Lindquist recorded on an offensive rebound to give the Knights a 23-15 lead at the end of the quarter. Lone Peak then scored 12 straight points to open the sec vantage that was too much for the Bulldogs to over come. "Shooting is 90 percent confidence, con-fidence, so if you get one, the next two or three are usually going to drop," Valimaki said. "I was just getting open and getting good passes from my teammates." But Provo head coach Craig Drury pointed out that his team, even without the big man, still had plenty of chances near the basket. Other than the big Orem push, however, the visitors played right with the Tigers. The lead fluctuated between eight and 12 points until late, when a last Bulldog gasp trimmed the deficit to six. But the Tigers did a great job hitting free throws to end the game, going 9-of-10 in the last two minutes and 14-of-18 overall. "When it really mattered, we hit our foul shots," Connor said. "I'm very pleased with how we did from the line." Sean Thornton led the way for Provo with 15 points. Both teams expressed their best wishes for Collinsworth, who signed an early letter of intent in 2006 to play basketball basket-ball for BYU.

Nate Henshaw answered for Timpanogos and Clarke sank another 3-pointer, but Lone Peak always had the answer.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Lone Peak 66, Timpanogos 54: At Orem, perhaps fans in attendance for Friday night's matchup between Timpanogos and Lone Peak wondered why the Knights were warming up to the music of N"Sync. Those fans got their answer: It's a perfect description of how Lone Peak plays basketball. Lone Peak executed an aggressive ag-gressive attack on both ends of the floor, blowing by the T'Wolves 66-54 in Region 4 girls basketball. The Knights (9-6, 4-0 Region 4) went on a quick 1 1-2 run to start the second quarter, blowing blow-ing a 16-16 game wide open.

Girls basketball Orem 46, Lehi 25: At Lehi, both teams demonstrated excellent hustle and athleticism, showing show-ing little regard for their bodies by diving for the loose balls and taking the hard fouls in the paint. But it was Orem that proved to be the tougher team with a victory on Tuesday. The first few minutes were pretty even. Halfway through the first quarter, the Pioneers led for the last time at 6-2. Orem then began to take advantage of its speed and big center Jamie Sager to go on a 12-0 run and end the period with an 14-6 lead. "Offensive wise, in the first half, we weren't in sync at all," said Tiger coach Ross Reed. "We didn't quite come ready to play in the first half. I thought we did much better the second half, though. It doesn't matter if we're playing Lehi or Provo or anyone else in our region, we need to come ready to play." Orem (114, 4-0) was dominating dominat-ing in the third quarter, outscor-ing outscor-ing the Pioneers 11-2. Sagers dropped in a trey and block four shots in the third quarter. "In the second half, we needed to change our ball movement," Reed said. "We were standing around and holding the ball too much. We talked about how we needed to get the ball to our low post more, and we saw some good production out of that. "We also had three girls score in double figures," Reed contin kt J .11 I m 1 n&TV fu g ( COBB CONDIENorth County Ryan Clarke of Timpanogos, top, draws a foul from Lone Peak's Kevin Lindquist, bottom, as Ryan Rios 5 of Lone Peak looks on Jan. 19. Leading the offensive outburst out-burst for the Knights was senior se-nior Caitlyn Sears, who poured in seven of her 12 second-quarter points during Lone Peak's run. Sears, who finished with a game-high 22 points, broke down the Timpanogos defense, penetrating the lane for the easy layups. Despite the run, Timpanogos (6-8, 3-1) came right back, battling bat-tling the offensive glass to keep itself close at the half. At one point, the T'Wolves pulled down four offensive boards during one possession, capping the effort off with a deep 3-pointer 3-pointer from center Cali Nelson. The Knights looked far from in sync in the third quarter, turning the ball over four times to start the half. The T'Wolves capitalized on Lone Peak's mistakes, using the combination of Megan Bishop (15 points) and Amy Weitzeil (17 points) to pull within four points. Bishop and Weitzel weren't the only thorns in the Knights' side. After racking up an impressive im-pressive 24 points in the second quarter, the Knights scored just nine in the third quarter, going a dismal 3-of-17 from the field. With the T'Wolves nipping at their heels, the Knights ued. "Sagers had a good game again tonight, Jessica Saliby once again, and Delyse (Downey) also had a good game."

"Shannon came in during our slump and made some defensive plays and got quick baskets," Flood said. "That's what we need from a senior, is for her to show her leadership like she did." Harmer's energy rejuvenated rejuve-nated her team, as the Knights turned up the defensive pressure, pres-sure, holding Timpanogos to a mere three baskets in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter.

With the title on the line, Orem turned to the same place they had been turning over the past four years. Wells didn't disappoint. Wells torched the field in the 100-yard breaststroke, and anchored the winning 400-yard 400-yard freestyle relay to put the Tigers on top for good. In the relay. Wells turned a dead heat into a runaway Orem win.

Mill-er. "He's a great kid. He cares about every kid on the team; he keeps everyone going." The Red Devils took the lead after an exceptional team performance per-formance in the 100 backstroke, in which they had four of the top eight finishers. Springville's Tim Call and Cody Fullmer finished 1-2 1-2 ahead of Orem's Doug Miller. Although Wells did a lot to help Orem's cause, they also relied re-lied on solid team depth to bring home the champioaship. The Tigers also got event wins from Andrew Ballejos and Zach Miller. On the girl's side, Timpview also depended on its depth to run away with the title. The closest battle was for the combined com-bined team title, which was won by Orem. A solid fourth-place fourth-place performance from the Tigers girls team gave Orem the combined title, as well. Team Scoree: Boys Orem 489. Spnngville 473, Lehi 409.
